Serial Number Status
Each serial number in Sage 50 is given a status. The status helps to indicate the serial number’s standing in the system. In Sage 50, a serial number can have one of the following seven statuses:
- Available—Serial number is available for selection on transactions. Serial numbers with this status have been added to the system by either of the following: an originating transaction, return using an intermediary transaction, or by voiding an ending transaction. The quantity on hand is 1.
-
- Adjusted—Serial numbers with this status have been adjusted out by an inventory adjustment. The quantity on hand is 0.
- Returned—Serial numbers with this status have been returned to the vendor using a credit memo. The quantity on hand is 0.
- In Progress—Serial numbers with this status have been added to work tickets that have not yet been closed. After the work ticket is closed, the serial number will be given a status of Available (Sage 50 Quantum Accounting).
- New—Serial numbers with this status have been added to the system by an originating transaction but the transaction hasn't been saved.
- Error—Serial numbers with this status have been imported into Sage 50 with an on-hand quantity. However the transaction that added the serial number to the system, the originating transaction, is missing.
- Error-Deficient—Serial numbers with this status have been imported into Sage 50 but not all of the records associated with the serial number have been imported. As a result, the quantity on hand is negative.
- Error-Surplus—Serial numbers with this status have been imported into Sage 50 but not all of the records associated with the serial number have been imported. As a result, the quantity on hand is greater than 1.
Serial number statuses are displayed on the Serial Numbers tab in Maintain Inventory Items, on the Serial Number Entry window, on the Serial Number Selection window and reported on the Serial Number History report.
